My student - Filip Gruszczynski, made extensive testing of alternative formulas for UCT. Over 30 000 games; ~10 different algorithms with various constants (including BAST).

From the article:
"It seems, that the more simple approach we take, the better. EGO_SQRT seems to be the best when compared with other ego programs, though EGO_BAST seems to be a bit more effective against GnuGo - possibly with better constants it could win even more." -- Taking the opportunity, I also would like to announce that development of libego will be stopped at least for 4 months (I'm on 3 month internship + vacations :] ).
